Sept 11 (Reuters) - Gemini Space Station raised $425
million in an initial public offering, pricing its stock above a
marketed range and shrinking the number of shares, Bloomberg
News reported on Thursday, citing a person familiar with the
matter.
The cryptocurrency firm led by the billionaire Winklevoss
twins sold about 15.2 million shares for $28 each after
marketing them for $24 to $26 apiece, the report said.
Gemini did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for
comment. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
New York City-based Gemini had capped IPO proceeds at
$425 million, in a rare move, even as the offering drew orders
more than 20 times the shares available, Reuters reported
earlier in the day.
Record high prices for digital assets and regulatory wins
have transformed the once beleaguered sector into an anchor for
the IPO market, which have resumed a long-awaited recovery this
fall after U.S. tariffs delayed listing plans in April.
Nasdaq had committed to a $50 million investment in
a private placement at the time of the IPO. Reuters was the
first to report on the investment.
